Take up your weapons for your fear and anxiety. Then the people intended to do so and took up their weapons. Until a man came who did not even have a staff. Then a caller announced from the sky: These are not the weapons for your anxiety. So a person from among the people of the earth asked: What are the weapons for our anxiety? He said: These are the words: Allah is free from all defects, and all praise is for Allah, and there is no deity except Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.

Grant me what You have promised me. O Allah! If You destroy this group of Muslims, then never again will You be worshipped on the earth. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued to implore his Lord and supplicate to Him, until his cloak fell from his shoulders onto the ground.
